Caspar Lami. Rongeur down 3x12mm, 18.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled removal of cortical and cancellous bone and small fragments during spinal and neurosurgical decompression procedures. The down-biting jaw is suited for laminotomy and laminectomy work where access to the undersurface of the lamina or deep, angled bone surfaces is required. The 3 x 12 mm bite size enables measured, repeatable cuts for precise decompression and contouring in constrained operative fields.

Design & Configuration

The down-oriented (down-biting) jaw geometry provides improved access to inferior aspects of the lamina and other anatomical undercuts compared with straight or up-biting rongeurs. A moderate overall length (18.5 cm) balances reach into deeper operative corridors while maintaining tactile feedback and control at the handles, allowing the surgeon to work with precision in narrow exposures. The 3 x 12 mm tip dimension delivers a predictable bite volume for sequential removal of bone with minimal collateral disruption to adjacent soft tissues.
